Rails Dot in Url with two routes for one controller - ruby-on-rails

Question

I'm making a site with one controller "Projects" and i want to show all projects with to routes :
/admin/projects/:id = /admin/projects/1 (works)
/front/:id = /front.1 (doesn't work)
I have tried this get 'front/:id' => 'projects#show', :constraints => { :id => /[^/]+/ } in route.rb but it doesn't work.
My files :
routes.rb
Rails.application.routes.draw do
resources :users, path: '/admin/clients'
get 'admin' => 'admin#dashbord'
get 'admin/profile'
get 'admin/settings'
get 'admin/_admin_header'
get 'front' => 'front#index'
get 'front/profile' => 'front#profile'
get 'front/:id' => 'projects#show'
scope '/admin' do
resources :projects do
resources :pictures
end
end
end
projects_controller.rb
layout 'adminApplication'
before_action :set_project, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy]
def index
#projects = Project.all
end
def show
end
def new
#project = Project.new
end
def edit
end
def create
#project = Project.new(project_params)
respond_to do |format|
if #project.save
format.html { redirect_to #project, notice: 'Project was successfully created.' }
format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: #project }
else
format.html { render :new }
format.json { render json: #project.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
def update
respond_to do |format|
if #project.update(project_params)
format.html { redirect_to #project, notice: 'Project was successfully updated.' }
format.json { render :show, status: :ok, location: #project }
else
format.html { render :edit }
format.json { render json: #project.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
def destroy
#project.destroy
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to projects_url, notice: 'Project was successfully destroyed.' }
format.json { head :no_content }
end
end
private
def set_project
#project = Project.find(params[:id])
end
def project_params
params.require(:project).permit(:name, :date, :location, :integer)
end
end
front_controller.rb
def index
#projects = Project.all
render 'projects/index'
end
def show
end
def profile
end
end
in projects/index.html.erb
- link_to 'Show', project
- link_to 'Show', front_path(project)

Update
rake routes | grep front:
front GET /front(.:format) front#index
front_profile GET /front/profile(.:format) front#profile
GET /front/:id(.:format) projects#show

Answer 1

You're using a named route helper, but you didn't specify it:
- link_to 'Show', front_path(project)
And you can see in your routes that front_path for projects#show doesn't exist:
rake routes | grep front
front GET /front(.:format) front#index
front_profile GET /front/profile(.:format) front#profile
GET /front/:id(.:format) projects#show
So, in your routes.rb add the helper:
get 'front/:id' => 'projects#show', as: :custom_front
And now run rake routes to see the new helper (it should be custom_front_path) and use it:
- link_to 'Show', custom_front_path(project)
See more info in the documentation - 4.3 Overriding the Named Helpers

Answer 2

You might want to change your route to
get 'front.:id' => 'projects#show'
